CVE-2009-1074
CWE-310Published: March 25, 2009· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
5.0
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Sun Java System Identity Manager (IdM) 7.0 through 8.0 does not use SSL in all expected circumstances, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network, related to "ssl termination devices" and lack of support for relative URLs.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2009-1074 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
